THIS EVENT IS BY APPLICATION ONLY!

DEADLINE TO APPLY IS MONDAY JULY 3RD, 12 NOON!

Mind too work-focused to realise your body is freezing/starving/knackered? Then you definitely need a dram...

Uniting lone working, whisky drinking artists often locked inside their own thoughts and studios, this sensory weekend workshop will use whisky as both medium and catalyst to renew your mind-body connection. It will also be an incredible opportunity to gel with like-minded creatives, forming a kick-ass peer group to explore future projects together by way of support and/or collaboration. Because an artist cannot exist as one head alone.

This DIY is for 5-7 selected participants who:

value the ‘spiritual’ nature of whisky as an essential part of their creative process

regard whisky as an art form within itself

find themselves working/drinking alone but who crave the company of other artists

don’t drink purely with the aim of getting drunk

are sick of taking on multiple personalities to discuss ideas with themselves

forget to eat because they’re so focussed on working

are prepared to fully commit to the duration and ‘spirit’ of the weekend

are willing to be open and honest by way of creating an inclusive and supportive environment

are looking to reconnect with and re-examine their creative origins to uncork their creative potential

are prepared and eager to take part in group discussion/activity

It is open to all practicing artists from any discipline (including - but not exclusive to - fine art, live art, illustration, music, spoken word, ceramicts, etc...) so long as you're 18+.
